Let’s say Sunday is NoPo day, for example. I think we’d all be in a better mood that day.

Edit. Yikes. Way too many people taking this too seriously and missing the point.

No, I’m not trying to suppress your free speech.

No, this post is not oppressive of your political views in anyway.

No, this doesn’t have any baring whatsoever on what country you’re from.

If your response to this shower thought is a four paragraph rage you are already lost. Why are you in showerthoughts?

No, this does not have anything to do with subscriptions or blocking communities.

If you’re incapable of light jokes then no, you should not comment.

And finally, no, this is not a serious request post. I can’t believe that needs to be explained for half the people here…

Or you can just block/ignore the stuff you don’t like. No need to force your preferences on everyone else.

You cannot block and filter enough to escape from politics or anime on Lemmy.

Just on the Everything feed with a bunch of filters & blocks, and a specific block for the word “anime”. I still end up blocking individual anime communities on a regular basis. That has been happening for over a year now, so there are a lot of them. I’m surprised you never see it. What are you on?

I never see anime stuff, and i don’t mind anime so it’s not like I’ve blocked a bunch of places that have it

Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You’d have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol

You know, it’s almost like politics affects everything. Strange thing that.

I don’t want to debate politics everytime myself, but the fact stays that at the end of the day, everything is political

Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.

Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that’s certainly unAmerican of you! I’m not voting for the person YOU clearly support!

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
